Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Stevecask: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Introduction
 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How do you edit a page?
 * How do you revert to a previous version of a page?
 * What about copyrights?
 * Community Portal

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes ( ~ ). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Proper wording
Hi. Regarding your recent edits in the Rafael Nadal article, per WP:NPOV, we generally avoid using terms as "shocking" and "destroyed"; personal viewpoints don't belong in the encyclopedia. We also use last names instead of nicknames ("Nadal" instead of "Rafa"). As mentioned in the edit note, please avoid including match scores in articles about tennis players. Thanks for your efforts. -- James26 (talk) 18:16, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
